Former Nairobi Diaries star Pendo was left with a bill to pay for in an expensive hotel in Mombasa.
In 2020, Pendo made headlines after she was arraigned at a Mombasa court for failure to pay Ksh. 208,000 bill at the English Point Marina hotel.
Speaking to Buzz Central, Pendo said they were invited to the expensive hotel by a prominent business person who had promised to join them later in a few days.
"I was seeing someone and this someone, booked a flight for me and my friend and booked us to the apartment complex," she said.
"He was supposed to join us but said he couldn't make it as he was busy. He said he could not make it due to 'Business'."
Pendo narrated that the man was paying for their accommodation but it reached a point he said business was not going on well.
"The balance that he was about to settle so we leave, he said he did not have it and that he needed to talk to the hotel. The hotel said they could not let us go," she said.
Adding that the businessman did not manage to clear the debt which was around Sh50k.
"The bill continued to accumulate. The more he paid, the more we were being held since the bill was not cleared," she said.
After the bill accumulated to over Sh200k, the hotel called the police for them and the case was taken to court before magistrate David Odhiambo who released her on a Sh100k bond or alternative cash bail of Sh35k.
She said the reason she did not reveal the name of the businessman was that she was afraid she would be killed.
"I am a good person, he is a prominent business person and I did not want to disappear because of 200k.
The businessman bailed her out and later settled the hotel bill after six months.
"While I was in court, he didn't care coz the worst I could do was mention his name."
Pendo revealed she is dating someone else although she will never reveal his face yet.
